    Description

    Antique glass syringe with nice label saying "Patented September 24, 1872 PJ McElroy Glass Manufacturer East Cambridge Mass."
    approximately 9" long with plunger fully depressed. Based on images online of old McElroy advertisements, I would guess this is a vaginal syringe meant for douching or applying medicines to treat venereal diseases. Plunger freely moves up and down syringe shaft.
    The
    Smithsonian National Museum of American History has an example glass syringe (not exact same model) from this manufacturer displayed online.
    I can combine shipping if you are interested in buying this plus my other glass syringe ebay #
